I Heard From Lavinia biography
I Heard From Lavinia is the solo project of Lavinia Giancaspero, singer and songwriter from Milan (Italy). Born in 1997, she has always grown an immense love for music as a way of artistic and emotional expression.

As a psychology student and enthusiast of the human mind and its complexity, she always tries to insert themes related to the psychic sphere in her songs.

'This Room Has No Doors' is the first album by I Heard From Lavinia. It is a project born from the long-distance collaboration of several musicians during the quarantine periods due to the pandemic.

This Room Has No Doors is a concept album that sees love addiction as its central theme, that emotional state on the border between love and obsession that can lead one person to love the other in a totally unconditional and toxic way, regardless of any kind of abuse suffered on the part of the partner, establishing a real addiction to them. In the course of the songs we find moments in which the protagonist recognizes the harmfulness of the relationship and others in which she expresses her feelings towards her beloved. On the one hand there is a great craving for closeness, and on the other there?s fear and desire of detachment from a clearly destructive situation.

The empty room, with no way out, therefore becomes a metaphor for the mind and obsessive thoughts that cannot be controlled and from which it?s impossible to escape.

4 stars 'I Once Heard From Lavinia' ... well, we're speaking about singer and songwriter Lavinia Giancaspero from Milan here. It's the chosen moniker for her solo project, okay, she doesn't manage everything on her own, important to know. And so the music actually is deriving from a long distance collaboration of several musicians during the COVID quarantine periods. For example there is Charlie Cawood aboard too, a rather popular and demanded studio musician from the United Kingdom. He already has contributed on uncounted albums, but also continuously releases solo efforts. Expressive and sensitive. Lavinia's debut album comes relatively short but definitely meaningful. The empty room, with no way out ... conceptually dealing with a central theme, the emotional state when you're on the border between love and obsession ... nearly impossible to escape?

Music-wise 'This Room Has No Doors' is consisting of entertaining songs, a well crafted blend of balladesque and rocking portions quasi in a row, sometimes reminding me of the early Bent Knee attitude. Yep, this one appeals, although I'm not really keen on a singer/songwriter approach in general. It has very much to do with the second track Funny I'd say. Initially announced by the melancholic psychedelic Prelude this marks the album's masterpiece. The jazzy imprints due to the electric piano, Mellotron, Lavinia's great singing range, shifting between rough and mellow, fantastic guitar solos, ahhhh, I'm overwhelmed, this is simply perfect. For the sake of variation you'll also detect something rather synth pop infected like Oblivion in the aftermath. Over the course the fine Sinwave evolves to an expressive and dramatic behaviour. A superb debut, very much recommended.

Thanks to cristi for the artist addition.
